Holy Hip Hop

Alright, I have a confession to make. I like rap. I used to listen to Eminem religiously before becoming a Christian. Was a step away from bleaching my hair ...

Well, I've found some tight rap that is an awesome substitute. Check this out:

Let's Kill Sin!
The Humility of Christ
My New Life
A Letter to My Friends

There's more at lampmode.com, but Timothy Brindle is my pick so far.

Update: I was going through the site looking for a place to buy his stuff and I found his grassroots album available for a free download! Click here to go to the download page and see some other cool stuff.

Update 2: I bought Brindle's Killing Sin album from Amazon.com and the songs I got from amazon are awesome! I think the lyrics are righteous, Christ-centered and call me to be wholly devoted to my Lord. Thanks Tim!

... but I will never buy mp3's from that site again. What a hassle, and I still haven't downloaded all the songs, because the first attempt failed (my computer crashed) and I have to contact them and wait for them to reinstate another attempt. I'll choose another method, next time.

Update 3: Thanks Andre for the heads up about Tre the Third. I'll be checking it out soon enough. And I like your phrase "holy hip hop" lol! I changed the title of this entry to show it, too!

Free Christian Music

I'd like to share two absolutely wonderful CD's I've found online.

The Living Sacrifice CD from Christ Our Life Ministries. I've provided links to the mp3's below for your convenience. The original site (click here) contains the sheet music (tablature) and lyric sheets.

John
Living Sacrifice
Fire of God
Man of Sorrows
Prophets Call
Cry Aloud
I Come to the Light
Now is the Time
You Love Righteousness
Let Me See Thy Face and Die
Psalm 23
Love Never Fails
From Death to Life
Resurrection Song
Beatitudes
Psalm 103

And Calvary Chapel Saving Grace from Firefighters for Christ. *(the top CD at this link is my personal choice). The mp3's of my favorites are below. (BTW, that site also has great mp3 sermons).

Faithful and True
Psalm 8
You Still Call Me Away
Walk In It
LORD, I Come to You
One Thing
Fly
I Will Wait
Tear Down These Walls
I Abide

All of these songs are either explicitly Scriptural or laced heavily with Scriptural themes. It is so cool to hear my kids singing along with these lyrics (they're 4 and 2). It's a great way to memorize Scripture and the truths contained within.

May these songs bless you as they have me and my family and friends.

Grace to you

UPDATE: There is now a second CD from Living Sacrifice (the first group of songs). Here is the link to the page, rather than putting each song up individually.

Some of the songs are better than others ... you can really see them evolving in their talent. But the second link has more of the new "winners" on it, in my opinion. Enjoy!
